Storage and order picking system
April 1st 2007 Flowstore Systems has designed and installed a storage and order picking system for leading pharmaceutical distributor, Lexon (UK), at its 80,000ft2 warehouse in Redditch. Flowstore undertook a site survey and prepared initial system layout proposals to meet the key criteria of versatility and efficiency within an agreed budget. In analysing product flow and determining storage locations, Flowstore in conjunction with Lexon divided stock into fast, medium and slow moving items. Further consideration was given to accommodating other items for storage, such as bulk products and the security of prescription items. Flowstore designed and installed bays of LS2 carton live storage units and ET2 Ergo-Tilt shelving to provide for sequential and optimum efficiency of order picking of fast and medium throughput products. The system has resulted in increased accuracy and numbers of orders picked, and optimised use of space. More articles from Flowstore Systems Plc: |
